The truth is I can go on like this for quite a long while. You see, the word "buffalo" can have at least 3 different meanings; a city in New York, an animal also known as the American bison, or a verb for bullying, confusing, intimidating, or fleecing another. If you're so inclined, add this fun tongue-twister to your novel. At the very least, it will give you 8 more words to your word count.
Don't like the word buffalo? Maybe it doesn't fit with your story because there's no city named Buffalo? You can have similar fun with other words. Take one of my favorite: Ferrets!

Funny. Thought you might have had a random question about Buffalo. I got very excited. I just saw two real life buffalo today. :)
I once tried to convince my husband to name our dog Buffalo. He didn't go for it. :( He ended up being named Gus.
That being said, I like this post.
